The 57-year-old Marine veteran was struck twice, once in the liver and once in the chest.
Dutch has been placed in a medically induced coma, however he is in stable condition, per the New York Post. 74-year-old James Copenhaver is also in stable condition. A third attendee, 50-year-old retired fire chief Corey Comperatore, succumbed to his injuries after being shot while protecting his family from the rounds
"I am sure everyone has seen the news and are appalled at how divided we have become," Marine Corps Pennsylvania District Vice Commandant Matt Popovich wrote in a post on Facebook Sunday afternoon. "Well, it has finally hit home to the League, it is with great sadness that I report that one of the civilians shot at the rally was one of our own. Commandant David Dutch of Westmorland County."
He explained that Dutch "has had one surgery and undergoing another this morning. He is currently in an induced coma. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. I am sure there will be lots of angst and anger at this news but please be careful how you express it, verbally or physically will not help but prayers and compassion do."
Dutch was appointed commandant of Westmoreland County Marine Corps League Detachment No. 1416 in 2023. Following the shooting, a number of fundraisers were launched via GoFundMe to help the victims. The largest and President Trump-authorized fund for the victims has raised nearly $4 million, four times its original goal. Another set up to support Comperatore's family has raised nearly $1 million after setting the goal of $7,000.
